I have always wanted to present a close-up version of Cardiographic but have been unable to create my dream pad until recent advances in material technology made it possible. My criteria was simple, I wanted a pad that would comfortably fit in my pocket. That could be done surrounded under the closest scrutiny. It had to be self-contained and needed a fast reset for strolling, and most important of all, it had to look impossible.--.MARTIN LEWIS. With Close-up Cardiographic, Martin has taken his classic sketchpad Rising Card to the next level. The effect is the same as Cardiographic, but built for close-up performances; a drawing of a selected card rises from a drawing of a deck of cards. The resulting impossible object is handed out as a souvenir. The brand new super-clean method is self-contained and angle-proof. The audience sees you draw on the pad prior to the card rising. Fast reset for restaurant or strolling. "This is a fabulous effect that is easy to do and has a great impact on an audience."--Tom Craven. "This simplified version of the prop handles like a dream, and the switch of the gimmicked drawing for the un-gimmicked drawing is still one of those perfect moments in magic. "--David Regal. Includes 50 giveaway pages. Made in America and built to last.
